Yes, you can submit bids even when the freelancer’s profile is “Private” on Upwork. The "Private" or "Public" setting of a profile does not impact the ability to make bids on Upwork.
We recommend that you always have your profile public on Upwork. For more information on how to make your profile public, see 🌐 How to Make Your Upwork Profile Public.
Can we make a bid if the freelancer’s profile is “private”?
